20 Seeds Pomegranate Punica granatum Fruit Tree Ornamental Edible Garden
Pomegranate is a long-cultivated fruiting shrub or small tree prized for its glossy foliage, bright orange-red flowers, and round fruits filled with juicy, jewel-like arils. It brings both ornamental beauty and a productive harvest to warm-climate gardens, patio containers, and sunny landscape borders.
Grown for its ornamental flowers and edible fruit, pomegranate works well as a specimen shrub, hedge, espalier, or large container plant. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, tolerates drought once established, and produces fruit that is commonly used fresh, juiced, or in cooking.
